I received a shipment of eight 14oz bottles of grass-fed beef tallow. I will use one bottle right away. What is the best way to preserve the rest of the seven?

One idea is to put the 7 bottles in a freezer, and take one by one out as needed. Will this work?

Bottles of tallow

FWIW, from the FatWorks FAQ I located this; not sure how reliable that information is.

Tallow is naturally shelf stable for years.

You can freeze your fat for an even longer shelf life, years in fact.

You can freeze tallow. Dehydration and the freeze-thaw cycle of home freezers are the enemies of long term storage. You can't stop the freeze-thaw cycle, but if you minimize exposure to dehydration (freezer burn) by storing full containers, or even vacuum packing, you can keep them that way for quite a while.

You added a picture, which is helpful. I might not freeze glass jars. You could risk expansion and breakage.
